What is the CPU speed in your iBook? How much RAM?

Yes you are correct...an iBook G4 does not have an Intel cpu (it has a "G4" cpu). With a 1.42ghz cpu and 512meg of ram...the "newest" OS you can upgrade to is OS 10.5 (10.5.8).

512meg of ram is the minimum...so it would be a great idea to max out your iBooks ram.
